[PATCH 3/3 v2] at24: Support 16-bit devices on SMBus

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously, the at24 driver would bail out in the case of a 16-bit
addressable EEPROM attached to an SMBus controller. This is because
SMBus block reads and writes don't map to I2C multi-byte reads and
writes when the offset portion is 2 bytes.

Instead of bailing out, this patch settles for functioning with single
byte read SMBus cycles. Writes can be block or single-byte, depending on
SMBus controller features.

Functionality has been tested with the following devices:

    AT24CM01 attached to Intel ISCH SMBus (1.8 KB/s)
    AT24C512 attached to Intel I801 SMBus (1.4 KB/s)
